Dell EqualLogic PS Series is being used across our entire organization to store virtual servers and data. It allows our entire environment to run on one platform and gives us the ability to manage our data easily. More importantly, we are able to provision new servers and backup existing ones more efficiently.

Dell EqualLogic is well suited in a virtual environment where the ability to quickly create new volumes is important. Also, being able to back-up and restore data pools is a key factor, as well as automating your storage environment. Smaller businesses would be less suited in this scenario and would be better off with a less expensive NAS solution.
